Résumé

Abstract : Plato is an ancient Greek philosopher; he sees the arts inferior to science and philosophy. Knowledge for him is based on ideas rather than opinion or perception. Mimesis for Plato is based on the appearance of things not the realm of ideas. Consequently the copy is imperfect and a source of corruption. Mimesis seems to be the most important theory that Plato expresses about art. Through this article we give a modest analysis about Plato’s books (Ion and the Republic) concentrating on the theory of mimesis and its relationship with arts broadly، but narrowly focused on poetry Key Words: Mimesis; imitation; inspiration; art; poetry.
